Jan 13 | 6–9 PM | The Veranda, San Antonio

If you’re in , you just hit the jackpot with this one.

MIC Unplugged is intentionally smaller and conversation-focused. These are the kinds of discussions that strengthen our community, create space for honesty, and leave people better than they arrived.

The lineup reflects that:
Dr. Keith Castille (CMSgt, Ret.) moderating (The GOAT)
CMSAF (Ret.) Kaleth O. Wright (Enlisted Jesus!? 🤯)
Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Jeannie Leavitt (first female USAF fighter pilot)
Katherine Torres-Pummill from Recurrent Military (LEGEND)
Plus comedy from Thom Tran (love this dude!)

Back in Okinawa in 2008 I was on the flightline working long hours on C-130s juggling three radios and three AMUs dealing with nonstop pressure and heat while trying to keep support equipment running. On the outside I was functioning but on the inside I was falling apart. I was halfway through my enlistment and completely lost. Homesick isolated drinking too much gaming too much gaining weight and losing myself little by little. I was spiraling and didn’t even realize how bad it had gotten.

Then my supervisor stepped in and he didn’t do it with a lecture or paperwork. He did it with real leadership. He showed up with food on the flightline. He checked in on us. He smiled. He treated us like people not numbers. He made us feel like we mattered. That man saved my life and he probably never knew it at the time.

Fast forward to my retirement last February and he flew all the way to Florida just to surprise me. That’s the kind of leader he has always been.

Now years later both of us are online talking openly about veteran mental health because this story isn’t just mine. A lot of us have been there even if we never said it out loud.

If you’re struggling I want you to know you’re not alone. And if you’re looking for someone worth following someone who leads with heart and integrity follow him. He’s the real deal.

One of those interviews that sticks with you.

We got time with during a packed, nonstop schedule and he never rushed us once. Fully present. Locked in. Gave us all the time we needed. Easily one of the best interviews I’ve ever been part of.

But the moment that hit hardest was off-camera. When I told him I’d just retired from the Air Force, he gave me a big hug, told me he was proud of me, congratulated me on my service, and then capped it off by telling me I had really cool hair. Not gonna lie, that made my whole year.

Huge shoutout to Robert Griffin III and to his parents for their service. Military brats really are built different. Growing up in that life opens your eyes to the world. Different cultures, places, languages, and perspectives. It shapes you in powerful ways.

RG3 is living proof of that. Grateful for the time, the respect, and the reminder of what’s possible.

The official favorite star of the HeroFront Podcast is undoubtedly !

In my opinion, the team is made up of people who truly get it. Many of them are veterans, family members of veterans, or still serving in the reserves. They’re in our community every day fighting for better support and better outcomes for all of us, and it was inspiring to see that firsthand.

In this episode, Ted Painter opens up about his journey. Marine Corps life, Okinawa, the moments that shaped him, and how that lived experience guides the work he’s doing now. It’s the side of transition and leadership people don’t usually get to hear.

If you’re in Tampa or Atlanta, CareSource Military and Veterans enrollment is open through December 9. It’s worth checking your options.

5 days left until TRICARE Open Season closes.

Ted Painter said something that stuck with me:

“Most companies chase the bottom line. That doesn’t mean it’s right for the people they’re serving.”

Ted knows the system as a Marine, a patient, and now part of CareSource Military & Veterans and the team is full of people like him. Veterans, spouses, and caregivers who actually live this life and put families first.

If you’re in or and eligible for TRICARE Prime, the Prime demo gives you a new option backed by a team that knows what military families deal with.

Open Season ends Dec 9.
